My beat up svt-40 Tula 1940

[catapult]

Got this recently from a good fellow cgner. Rifle is quite beat up, missmatch numbers but all stamps and missing the cleaning rod.

 

[Robert Nicholson]

Nice! It has character.

 

[Ratzilla]

Nice! It has character.

Agreed. This one probably had seen service. Very very cool in my books

 

[Zen Shooter]

I am not certain but don't those SA stamps mean it was a Finn capture and rebuild? Definitely saw service if so...

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

Yup. That's a Finn capture

This gun is travelling a lot I got this one recently for a good price from another (very honest) CGN member. I was looking for a shooter, got this one at a shooter price; figured that rather than simply flipping it rather unethically, I'd be better off finding someone who'd appreciate its collectability - so catapult now can enjoy this Finn capture as part of its SVT collection!

 

[catapult]

Yup !! Thanks to you Lou and this one will have a special place among my svt's

Not one you see every day. I'd take it over my minty 1940 Tula!

 

[Umka]

It looks great! :] Congrats!

Gotta love rifles with a history. Betting this is one of the early imports and not a refurb.

Grizz

 

[Horilka]

It is refurb, but Finnish.

 

[MotorwayRacer]

Great piece of history right there. Well done!

Hard not to like an old war horse. I'm sure it was well used and well loved by the Finnish soldiers who carried it.

 

[johnny the boy]

That rifle has lots-o-stories I bet. Well done sir!

 

[Pblatzz]

It it could only talk! Nice rifle, crap tonnes of history...

 

[Beverkiller]

i love SVT or SKS or Mosin Nagant that are beat up it give them a cool look and must have a sorry with those weapons for sure

 

[Longshot84]
